Environmental and social sustainability overview

Since our beginnings in 1991, we have been helping the countries where we invest get on a path to sustainable growth.

We assess the environmental and social impacts of all of the projects we invest in and work with our clients to achieve good international standards.

We integrate climate risk assessments and adaptation measures in our investment operations. We support our clients in identifying those climate change impacts that are likely to affect their businesses, leading to increased resilience through improved practices, reducing long-term risk.

Through our investments in sectors such as water supply, wastewater treatment systems, public transport and sustainable energy, we make a real difference to peoples' lives.

Our GET approach has stepped up our activities in a real and exciting way. We can already see the influence of our work in setting higher standards across the board, delivering tangible results that benefit businesses and communities alike, and making a green business model the new norm across the EBRD region and beyond.

The Sustainability Report focuses on the Bank’s impact on the people and environment in its countries of operations.
